That's the problem I was alluding to in the paragraph before.

(In the case of docs the build result will probably not be identical
anyway, in the typical case where timestamps or tool versions are
included.)

Please note that I'm not proposing to go that way; I just wanted to
state that I understand the question of the original poster because
I've thought about something similar before.
